Be patient it just means they found something they want to look into or further investigate. If you know your relationship is legitimate then you have nothing to worry about. Good luck! congratulation,am sooo happy for u and ur fiancé i wish u all the best in ur life with ur fiance,inchaallah u will live in love and hapiness all ur life together i hope the ambassy will issue my visa soon as possible,coz my relationship is ligitimate thank u for ur reply	tanina	Not Telling	Algeria	2013-04-17 15:33:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	anti-fraud unit	In a previous topic/post you said: Just from looking at these two posts alone - it makes me confused and brings up questions as to when your interview was as you have two dates... so as I mentioned, - it very well could be some inconsistencies they found along the way if you were not careful. Think hard about what they may be so you will be prepared to answer/address them. i have no dates,i had my interview in december 27th 2012,and since this day they put my case under AP,now it is 4 month since my interview date,and last week they emailed to say that more investigation in Anti fraud unit. we saw an immigrations autorney and we shew him all our documents ,and he said no red flag,they just waste our time. I answered all the questions in the interview,i had no problems,I think that they put my case in anti fraud unit,coz i rememebr that the CO asked me if i know a man,has the same family like my family name ,and i answered that i dont know him,coz i really i dont know this personne. I have no immigration purpose,i have a good job,i earn good money here in algeria,am 28 years old my fiance 32 years old,wr r both muslims,my fiance make good money ,how can thye put my case in fraud unit?	tanina	Not Telling	Algeria	2013-04-14 10:02:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	New Islamabad AP Tracker	Hello everyone I have a question regarding AP status change. In your opinion people who have gotten there visa their status updates rapidly from date to date and then they get there visa one day or it's doesnt have to be like that. My husband has been in AP since december 2012 when he had his interview. We have only put in one inquiry and the status have no update. So will I see sudden changes in the status update or it could be possible that I wake up one day and the status could be issued? Sorry it's a bit of a silly question! me too my case statut doesn't change,since i had my interview in december2012 IN ALGIERS ambassy. when i check online my case statut,i see the same update,it does'nt move it doesn't change.THE ONLY email i got from the ambassy is that my case is in further Administrative Review,and they said it doesn't process coz they dont have enogh staff. NOW we r waiting fro more the 3 months and nothing move in my case.	tanina	Not Telling	Algeria	2013-03-15 09:38:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	New Islamabad AP Tracker	[quote name='omer1' timestamp='1358537403' post='5929700'] VISA STATUS CHECK U.S. Department of State IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION Administrative Processing Immigrant Visa Case Number: ISLxxxxxxxccc Case Creation Date: 09-Nov-2012 Status Updated Date: 18-Jan-2013 Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached. i am under AP since 3 months,i had the same answer when i sheck my case statut in DOC,i know friends they are under Ap more that 1 year and they get the same answer when they sheck theirs case statut online.

Middle East and North Africa	Algiers won't reply to appointment request	The embassy in Algeria received our approved I-129F in July and they sent email instructions for the application process for my fiance on July 29. According to the instructions, we are to email our request for an interview appointment once we had the required forms and verifications ready. We have been requesting an appointment since the second week of August. The first reply said wait until September and check again, which we did and have done every week now and they will not respond to the emails! I cannot get through to anyone on the phone (even though the website says no visa inquiries are accepted by phone, I don't know how else one can reach them if they don't reply to emails!) If appointments are booked so far out and they are backlogged with cases, that's understandable.. but they could at least reply to let us know that our requests for an appointment aren't just floating out there in consular oblivion. Any suggestions? am algerian woman,am 28 YEARS OLD,i had my interview in december27th2013,i was interviewed by a woman,she treated me like insect,she asked me questions about my privat life,i answered all her questions,i didnt get angry coz i didnt want to make her to refuse to issue my visa,when i left she kept my passport and gave me a g 221 white paper,she asked for 2012 tax return,i left the ambassy,in January 2nd i gave the ambassy what they request 2012 tax return,2 days later they emailed my fiance that they recieved it,but after one month they emailed my fiance for the second time to tell him that our cas ein under AP,and they will contact me.AM just waitind and waiting...,I dont know why they kept my passport more that 1 month,and they made me in further AP.PLIZ can u tell me why they kept my passport in the ambassy and my case in further AP???pliz answer me and help me pliz pliz	tanina	Not Telling	Algeria	2013-02-07 19:12:00
Middle East and North Africa	status Updated Date	I hope you get good news soon ! hope soo;thank u for your support	tanina	Not Telling	Algeria	2013-03-18 11:05:00
Middle East and North Africa	status Updated Date	I agree with the rest, your status changed because there was contact made when your fiance emailed them. Every time I had contact with them they updated it. As for your question about it taking time for a woman to go through AP, just because you are female does not necessarily mean it will be done quickly. It seems sometimes women do get done quicker then men in general, but it is not always the case. Besides, the Algerian embassy had been pretty far behind in AP a few months ago. Some people here were reporting being in month 4 and 5 so be patient, it will come. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do to speed it up at this point. They kept your passport so they can issue the visa when they are done. If they did not keep it they would need to request it from you, wait for you to get it to them, etc. I would be happy they have it, unless you need it for travel in the mean time. Just because there is not a daily update it does not mean they are not working on it, someone could be - it just takes time. Look at it this way though, you are in the final stretch... yeah! The time is closer every day and you will be out of AP before you know it Thank u so much for ur reply.it keeps me feel good and hopefully. U gave me more details about my case status.thank u for helping people. U r giving nice advice and u keep them hopefull	tanina	Not Telling	Algeria	2013-03-18 07:10:00
Middle East and North Africa	status Updated Date	I am not under AP, just 'Ready' for the interview which is scheduled in a few days. We sent a lot of messages to the embassy and saw the case status date updated every time we sent a message or got a reply. Hope ur interview will be very easy.and u will get ur visa in the same day.and u will be with ur hasband as soon as possible. Wish u all the best. Inform when u u finish with ur interview. All all all all all the best for u and ur hasband	tanina	Not Telling	Algeria	2013-03-17 08:04:00
Middle East and North Africa	status Updated Date	The 'status updated date' changed probably because either someone worked on your case or just logged on to your case once the email from you was received. Maybe they log all correspondence? I am not sure but my 'status updated date' always gets changed once my husband or I send an email to the embassy. Thank u for ur reply. Are you under AP? and for how long? For which reason they put u under AP?	tanina	Not Telling	Algeria	2013-03-17 07:47:00
